As some of you know, I went from taking very high doses of SSRIs (e.g. 110mg Prozac+100mg modafinil daily) to being unable to take more than .1mg Prozac. At roughly the same time I developed reactive hypoglycemia and exercise-induced depression.
I'm now looking at adrenal fatigue as a factor here. I've learned a lot from people here; thank you. After 18 months of hardcore depression, I'm making real progress on 3mg of mirtazapine daily. I'm hoping that addressing adrenal issues will bring me the rest of the way through.
One issue I have is that I'm able to keep the reactive hypoglycemia at bay only if I run, but if I run I get much more depressed (I'm just shot for 5-6 hours after I run).
If I figure anything out, I'll let the board know. But for the few others here who had similar reactions to SSRIs, you might give low-dose mirtazapine a shot. (At low doses it's mainly blocking serotonin.)
